"I think it's incumbent upon me as a senior leader of the United States military to assure people — through media is a vehicle of doing it; through Congress is another vehicle of doing it — to assure people that the United States military was not going to be involved," he told the committee on Nov. 17, 2021.He then mourned"the Michael Flynn that I knew," who"was a high-quality intelligence officer who served his country honorably and served it well in peace and war.
